ThePro Display XDR is a 32-inchflat panelcomputer monitor created byApple, based on anLG supplied display,[1] that was released on December 10, 2019. It was announced at theApple Worldwide Developers Conference on June 3, 2019, along with the2019 Mac Pro.[2][3][4] It is the first Apple-branded display since theApple Thunderbolt Display was discontinued in 2016.[5] "XDR" stands for "Extreme Dynamic Range."[6] Since 2022, it has been one of two displays sold by Apple, alongside the consumerApple Studio Display.

The Pro Display XDR contains a 6016 × 33846K color-calibrated panel, and its rear cover contains a similar lattice pattern to the third-generationMac Pro. To improve its contrast ratio andHDR capabilities, it uses blue-colored LEDs for itsbacklight instead of white, at a higherrefresh rate than the display itself, and contains a system of "custom lenses and reflectors". The aforementioned lattice serves as aheatsink: Apple stated that this design gave the display sufficient thermal management to operate "indefinitely" at 1000nits of brightness across the entire screen, and up to 1600 nits in an environment cooler than 25 °C (77 °F). The display is available with an optional laser-etched "nano-texture" glass finish to reduce glare.[2][4][7] The nano-texture version requires a custom "dry polishing cloth" included with the display and sold by Apple to clean it.[8]
Mounting options are optionally purchasable separately as an accessory, either the "VESA Mount Adapter" or "Pro Stand". Both use a proprietarymagnet system to attach the display. The Pro Stand allows for height adjustment and rotation, and includes a lock switch that releases rotation when the display has enough clearance to rotate 90 degrees. The VESA Mount Mount Adapter allows one to use a VESA-mounted stand. Sensors in the display automatically rotate the user interface to portrait mode.[9][10] Apple partnered withLogitech to create a4K webcam that attaches to the top of the display magnetically.[11]
The Pro Display XDR runs at full resolution inhigh dynamic range withiPad Air (fifth-generation and newer) andiPad Pro (fifth-generation and newer) models with anM series chip and the following Macs runningmacOS Catalina 10.15.2 or later:[6][12][13]
Macs and iPads withDisplayPort will output to it, including Thunderbolt 2-equipped Macs using an adapter, but are limited to lower resolutions and standard dynamic range.[15][16][17]Windows andLinux-based systems supporting DisplayPort can output to it but lack configuration abilities like brightness control.[18]
It provides up to 96 W of host charging for MacBooks.[6] The rear USB-C ports require a Mac with an internal GPU supporting Display Stream Compression (2019 16-inch MacBook Pro, 2019 Mac Pro with W5700X, W6600X, W6800X, W6900X or W6800X Duo, 2020 27-inch iMac, and Macs withApple silicon) to run at3.0 speed, otherwise they will run at2.0 speed.[19]
Shortly after the announcement, the stand came under criticism and mockery for being sold as a separate product, and at what was perceived to be an excessive cost for its function—retailing at $999.[20]Gizmodo noted, "the price for Apple’s Pro Stand is so high, the crowd at WWDC 2019 let out an audible gasp when its pricing was announced, and that was in a room filled with reporters, Apple employees, Apple developers, and other assorted Apple followers who really ought to be immune to Apple sticker shock by now."[21]The Verge jokingly dubbed the Pro Stand "the most expensivedongle ever".[9]
